This is my one-hundredth post...I can hardly believe it! Blogging has been wonderful...it started out as just a way for me to journal my quilting adventures...but it has become so much more! I have learned so much from all of you, and have been inspired every single day! I'm grateful for everything I've learned over the past nine months and for your wonderful comments and ideas! And so...a giveaway...but before I get to that...a couple of things to share. Above is what I did with my charm pack and 3/4 yard of fabric of Wonderland by Moda. This is Nanette's Mixed Bag to Quilt pattern...I just adapted it to a charm pack. I love this bag, and I LOVE this fabric! I'm definitely going to need more Wonderland...because I have some more great ideas for it! Also, I have three wonderful quilting books I've just added to my Etsy shop (link is on my sidebar). They are wonderful books (I recently bought a book by the author which is a compilation of the three and so don't need these anymore), and I've listed them at a great price!

So, on to the giveaway. My "theme" for the giveaway is "a few of my favorite things." The first giveaway prize is definitely one of my favorite things...Nanette's Mixed Bag to Quilt. I've made this one in Flights of Fancy by Paula Prass for Michael Miller Fabrics. This is such a wonderful bag...I don't carry anything else anymore (I've now made three for myself and this one for the giveaway)!

Here are the front and back views:

Another one of my favorite things is Patisserie by Joanna of Fig Tree Quilts. So, I've made a small bag with some of my honey bun strips and inside of it will be a cute little Moda Bake Shop Box roll of Patisserie (there are 10 honey bun strips in this roll).

Here's the way to play: leaving a comment on this post will get you one chance; if you are already a follower you get two additional chances, and if you become a follower you get one additional chance. If you do a blog post about my giveaway, then I'll give you three additional chances. And...to give some extra chances for my regular readers and commenters (I got this idea from Belinda of Brown Dirt Cottage)...I'm going to randomly draw two post numbers...and everyone who commented on those posts will get five additional chances per comment! So there it is...I think it will be fun...just let me know in your comment about following and posting...and I'll get to work on a spreadsheet to keep track of everything! I'll announce the winners on Friday the 17th of April. Oh, one more thing...I'd like to know where you're from, and at least one of your quilting/sewing/crafting goals. I'll start..."My name is Sherri, and I'm from Nevada. I currently have over 20 works in progress, and my biggest quilting goal is to start designing my own patterns!" Have a wonderful Easter...and good luck!

Hi Sherri- Jennifer from FAR northern CA here. Sweet bag! Happy 100th. I have innumerable started projects as well, but in the forefront is getting some bindings handsewn this weekend (ugh, my least favorite part!). Have a happy Easter.

Hi Sherri, My name is Mary, and I'm from Minnesota. I currently have over 6 works in progress, and my biggest quilting goal is do an all applique full size quilt! You know I'm a follower and you will see this posted on my blog. Have a wonderful Easter..

Congrats!! I have you on my side link bar thing on my website, not officially following your in the sense, not sure if that counts?!? I am Stacey in Maine, a sahm of 4 kids, ages 10, 6, 3, and 16 months. I would love to design also but not ready for that. I am working on my second quilt, I love making bags, and I love MODA!! I need to buy me some precuts, as I have not worked with them much, just one charm pack and two jelly rolls thus far. I am dying to make a pinwheel quilt out of some of their turnovers though!! Maybe that should be my goal. not sure. anyways I am getting carried away now, have a nice day, and Happy Easter!!

I'm Mary in NC. Can't even begin to tell you how many projects I have going....my goal though is produce wonderful longarm quilted quilts. Because I now have the longarm I am able to finish up some of my larger projects...a bonus! But still yet....love all my little quilts and to tell you the truth...have more projects than lifetime! Don't we all? LOL

What a great idea to make the wonderland like that for the bag. I love that one so much. They are all cute. But this is so special. I absolutely love it. I may have to do the same thing. I hope you don't mind if I copy. thanks Sherri! And congrats on being 100. I wish you many more.

Your 100th post! What an Easter Gift! I'm Carol from CT. I have seven quilts that I am working on, but keep them in 12" clear plastic scrapbook containers which makes it easier for me, when I want to work on one of them. My goal is to someday make a pocketbook for myself. Thank you for sharing and giving of yourself with all of us!!!

Congrats on your 100th post Sherri. Very cute bag...I'm Vicki, from around the corner (!) and my goal is to remember that I still have a husband and kids in all of this quilting adventure! And to get the few things I have going actually finished.

Hi- I'm Betty from Minnesota. I discovered your blog just recently and have been following along but never commented. I do have you on my list of favorites and I don't have a blog. I usually only work on one or two projects at a time because I'm driven to complete my quilts. My goal is to attempt a small bit of applique (my first) on my present quilt- Oh and I just completed a civil war sampler too. It was great fun and I enjoyed yours. Then I would also like to design a small project myself.

I love your Wonderland bag!! I am Annette from Utah and my lifetime goal is to one day finish a grandmother's garden quilt. I keep trying. Congratulations on 100 posts. You have a terrific blog and I've enjoyed it. Thanks

100, way to go... Love the Wonderland bag, gorgeous colours. Hmm I'm Linda, in OK via, NZ and OZ. I too have you in my google reader. My goal is to write more patterns and really get a viable business of the ground.

What a wonderful purse! Love the quilting on the first picture. I'm Shelley from northern Maine and my biggest goal is to redo my sewing room...paint, rearrange and make it so I like to be in there! I want to do it in beach cottage colors...blue, cream, greens. So peaceful...ahhh! I've just become a follower so put me in for an extra chance.

Congrations on 100! My name is Colleen (regular follower :o) and I am from Wisconsin. I have about 10 projects currently started, about 40 more waiting in the wings (oh my) and my goal this year is to actually FINISH those 10 projects I have started.

My name is Kathleen and I live in New Mexico. I aspire to use up more stash rather than buy fabric, which is hard because I teach in a quilt shop. I'm a follower and I'll also post on my blog about the giveaway. Sure would like to be a winner, but we bloggers are all winners with our friendships!

I have been reading your blog for a few months now, and just made the connection that you are from my hometown! Go Pirates! I have about 22 UFO's that I am determined to finish. That is unless I NEED to start a new project :)!

Hi, I have your blog linked in my favorite quilting blogs. I have enjoyed visiting it. I have 7 ufo's and fabric for about 15 more quilts. I am from Arizona. I love your bag. I am making my very first bag right now. I hope it turns out as nice as yours. I would love to win yours.

Hi, I'm Angie, from College Station, TX. I want to make a dent in my UFO's this year and I have been, but I really want to make 2 soldier quilts this year to give away. One I know where it will go and a second (twin) to someone else. I love your purse.

Congratulations on your 100th post Sherri and thank you for all the inspiration you give all of us with each of your posts. Your bags are wonderful! I'm Carol from Florida and I've been dreaming about some pattern designs.

Congrats on 100 postings!I'm Lynn from the New Orleans area. I love hand work--quilting, embroidery, and applique. I'd like to start designing my own hand quilting patterns! Love the durham style quilting! I'm a follower of yours and really enjoy the updates!

Oh my, what wonderful bags. Congrats on your milestone post. I am from Montana, and my goal is to finish my 4 scrap quilts that are in progess. I want to use up that massive pile of scraps and move on to beautiful NEW fabric!

Happy Blogiversary, Sherri. My name is Susan, and I'm from Leeds, Alabama. I have lots of goals, but the one I'm working on right now is to finish my Layer Cake quilt. I'm following, and I'll post this on my blog. Beautiful bag.

Sherri--Congratulations on your one hundredth post! I just love every post of yours that I have read. I first "discovered" quilting blogs, I think in February after I "discovered" the Moda Bake Shop. Imagine my delight being an absolute total quilt maker and lover. I have followed you ever since and thoroughly enjoy the experience. Your links to other blogs have helped me to discover some other fun quilters, too. I would definitely post a link if I had a blog. When school is out for the summer, I would like to figure out how to start one. I love your new bags and your giveaways. So beautiful! I recently got my sewing room re-organized and my goal is to simply work on something--even if it be small--each day. I am looking forward to summer and making mixed bags to quilt with matching glam bags for my daughters and daughters in law for next Christmas. So many other things to do....a little each day! Thanks for your inspiring example!

Way to go girl!! Hi, I am Jane from Illinois, my goal is to learn to applique. I have you in my reader but I do not think that counts, so I will now also follow you. thank you for this wonderful giveaway and the chnace to win.

Congratulations! Here's to stick-to-it-ivness! My name is Tara from northern Colorado. I've only been quilting since February, but my goals include three queen size quilts and shams for my beds by the end of the summer. I would love to have 20 WIPs but alas, my stash isn't big enough yet!

Congratulations Sherri, 100 posts, I love reading your blog, you are such an inspiration, I have all my lovely tea projects displayed in my kitchen, I love them all...I will look forward to reading your next 100 posts and the next 100 after that, this blogging is such a grand world...

Congrats on your 100th! Love the bags and your blog. I am Sheri from Olympia WA. I currently have 3 quilts in progress, 1 that needs binding, 3 that need quilting and 2 in the planning stages. The 2 are for twin grandsons to be born in June or July.

100 posts! that is great reason to celebrate. My name is Ferne and I have at least 8 projects that I can think of going. I just finished one that I have been working on for a year. It feels great to finish something...my head is already full of future projects that I could do...hmmmm! My goal would be to find the time to do it all!

Love that bag! I haven't seen the pattern before. My name is Ruth, I am from Minnesota and I have about a dozen (or more) unfinished projects. I haven't counted. My goal is to learn as much about quilting and applique as I can from my friend and teacher, Patricia Cox.

I am still trying to get to 100, Congrats! I am Kim P. from Lake Havasu City, AZ. Last count I had 25 projects ready to start. My goal is to finalize my online quilt store acquisition and keep it going strong. Havasu Quiltswww.havasuquilts.comThanks for sharing.

Congratulations on your 100th post. I love reading your blog, you are always doing something interesting. Please count me in for the giveaway (what a great bag!). My name is Lise and I am from Victoria, Australia and I would love to just achieve something quilting / stitching wise at the moment. Lots started and lots I'd like to start but not many finishes!!! Think my nieces quilt for her 18th (which was in January) is most desperate!!

V. here..Happy 100th. I only started reading blogs in the last week of Mar 09, but didn't learn how to post until April. I love the inspiration I get from your words and photos. i love Nanette's mixed bag Pattern too and all of your versions I covet! From you I have learned about fabric lines, I have never bought a whole group. I just buy a little here & there and mix them in. I have lived in NM the last 3 yrs. I guess my goal is to get organized. (boring!)I have a request that you comment on the decorations used for an event that you went to and could not go to Scrap Apple Quilts for Carrie's Workshop. (I hope I remember correctly). Also, could you comment on being a judge (quilt, I assume) that was mentioned lately. Thanks. You are great!!

HI Sherry,My name is Anna and I am from Alberta Canada. I have been a quilter for a dozen years and I still have many many more quilts that I would like to make- My stash is large and time is never enough. I currently have about 5 or 6 projects on the go- some in the preliminary stage and others that just need borders and quilting. I recently completed 4 projects that I had begun last spring. Congratulations on the 100th post.Regards from a Western Canadian quilter,Anna

I will post about this giveaway on my blog (GraceLessCrafts at blogspot). I'm also a follower of yours. One of my crafting goals is to learn all the needlecrafts. I can already crochet and a little knitting and quilting is next. Can't wait.

congratulations! I'm Martina from switzerland. There are about 10 finished quilttops to be quilted.But my biggest goal at the moment is to make a quilt totally stiched by hand. It is slow but really great fun.

I'm Diane from Visalia, CA (between Fresno and Bakersfield). Quilting is my passion and I just can't get enough! I have so many projects "in the works", but just resist starting one more.
